Spellings, Reading Books and Reading Rewards

We would like to share a few important updates regarding spellings and reading in class 6 and 7.

Spellings

From now on, weekly spellings will be sent home in children’s log books. It is the responsibility of each child to practise their spellings regularly at home throughout the week. We encourage children to spend a few minutes each day learning and revising their spelling words to help build confidence and improve their spelling skills.

Reading Books

All children have now been assigned a book band and should have a book-banded reading book on their desk at school. These books should be brought home regularly so that children can continue their reading practice outside of school.

Reading at home is one of the most effective ways to support your child’s progress in literacy. Regular reading helps to develop fluency, comprehension, vocabulary and a love of books.

Reading Rewards

This year, we will be rewarding children with Dojos for reading at home:

  • Read 3 times in a week = 3 Dojos
  • Read 4 times in a week = 4 Dojos
  • Read 5 to 7 times in a week = 5 Dojos

To receive these rewards, reading must be recorded in your child’s reading journal.

We would greatly appreciate your support in encouraging your child to read regularly at home and to ensure that their reading journal is completed and brought into school. Together, we can help children develop strong reading habits and a lifelong enjoyment of reading.

Thank you for your continued support.

Class 6 Explore Wood Lane Nature Reserve

Class 6 had a fantastic day at Wood Lane Nature Reserve, enjoying a variety of outdoor learning experiences and discovering more about the natural world and recycling.

The morning was spent in the woodland, where pupils took part in a range of engaging activities. They used colour palettes to match the different shades found in nature, investigated and classified a variety of invertebrates, and were excited to discover a rare woodland orchid during their exploration.

After a busy morning, the class enjoyed lunch beside the lake, making the most of the beautiful surroundings before continuing their adventure.

In the afternoon, pupils learned all about waste management during an informative tour of the quarry, landfill and recycling facilities. A highlight of the visit was stepping inside one of the sorting centres, where they were able to see first-hand how recyclable materials are separated and processed.

It was a memorable day filled with hands-on learning, new discoveries and plenty of opportunities to appreciate both the environment and the importance of recycling.

Class 6 and 8 Science news

Classes 6 and 8 have been busy creating a fantastic class book to showcase their science learning. Throughout the project, pupils explored living things in our environment, including the differences between invertebrates and vertebrates. They also investigated how environments change over time and discussed practical ways we can all help to protect and care for the world around us. The finished book highlights their curiosity, creativity, and growing understanding of science in action.

Year 4 Multiplication Practice Cards

Dear Parents and Carers,

Year 4 children will be bringing home multiplication cards to help support their times table recall and fluency ahead of the Multiplication Tables Check taking place in June.

The check focuses on quick recall of multiplication facts, so we would really appreciate your support in helping your child practise for a few minutes each day. Regular short practice sessions can make a huge difference to confidence and speed. TTRS has been a huge hit with the children and we would like the children to continue accessing this as much as they can.

When practising, please encourage your child to say the multiplication facts in a quick recall format, for example:

“2, 6, 12”
rather than
“2 times 6 is 12.”

This helps children develop the rapid recall needed for the check.

The cards also include a pictorial representation on the back to support understanding. Children should first try to answer using recall from memory, only using the picture if they need extra support.

Thank you for your continued support in helping your child build confidence and fluency with their times tables.

Kind regards,
Year 4 Team
